Our Staff
Our Principal
Te Hira Paenga
Our teachers are passionate, competent and energetic about the subjects they teach.
Currently, every teacher is fluent in te reo Māori. The holistic wellbeing of each child is at the very centre of teaching and learning.
Our teachers collaborate to develop learning experiences that challenge, extend and motivate learners through te reo and tikanga Māori.
They work to create a nurturing and secure learning environment where every child feels uniquely celebrated, loved and cared for.
All of our teachers use the philosophy and curriculum of Te Aho Matua as the cornerstone of their practice.
A full list of staff is available from the office.
